Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export any of the electricity I generate?

Yes. All unused electricity will be exported back to the grid. This is usually paid as part of a guaranteed 50% Export rate. However, systems above 30kWp have to have an Export Meter installed which measures the actual amount.

Can I heat water with Solar PV panels?

Yes. If we install an Immersun any un-used electricity that your panels have generated will be directed to your immersion heater providing FREE hot water.

Do I need planning permission?

On roof systems are classed as permitted development so unless the property is listed or in a conservation area planning permission will not be required.

Do I need to inform my electricity supplier?

No. We will deal with all permissions & notifications and can also provide the paperwork for your Feed-in Tariff (FiT) application.

How are the panels fixed to the roof?

For a standard roof we use rigid stainless steel brackets that are fixed directly to your roof rafters. The brackets hook out from underneath your existing tiles. We do not drill tiles/slates or use mastic/silicone to weather proof your roof. These techniques do not have a long life span.
